Zusammenfassung:The beginnings of cooperativism in brazil are traced to the late nineteenth century in the central-south regions that were mostly inhabited by European migrants with an appreciation for collective action. Sporadic attempts to establish a cooperative institution are documented in the Brazilian states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio Grande do Sul, the latter being the site of the first German-inspired credit cooperative, brought to Brazil in 1902 by the Swiss cleric Padre Theodor Amstad and founded under the name Pioneira (Mladenatz 2003). Other historical examples of collective action include a cooperative for telephone workers in São Paulo and
